Effects of imperfect albinism (sal-s) on growth in a heavy line of chickens.

Poultry science - 1 Jan 1991

Silversides F G, Crawford R D

Abstract excerpt

Four trials compared growth, feed efficiency, and mortality of albino (sal-s) and nonalbino chickens under conditions approximating those used commercially for broilers. Early body weight reductions of albino chicks were substantial, but by a normal market age for broilers in North America, albinos weighed only 3 to 5% less than nonalbinos. The early mortality rate of albinos was elevated. Overall feed efficiency...
